Freelance Writing for Teen Magazines

Teen magazines are extremely popular and millions are sold
each and every year. Freelance writers with an interest in writing for these magazines
would do well to have an article that appeals to the editors of these
publications. Knowing what they are searching for gives a writer a leg up and a
foot in the door.

Believe it or not the teen magazine Seventeen has been
around since the 1940s and even in our electronic age of doing the business of
writing, these types of teen publications are continuing to flourish. Identifying your audience and writing specifically for them is what appeals to editors.

When editors review the info they receive from freelance
writers searching for a way to break into the business of freelance magazine
writing, this is what topics they look for and will definitely appeal to a teen audience.

The latest styles for
teens

Teens are nothing if they are not one of the crowd. Therefore,
knowing what the latest fashion trends are will certainly peak their interest. Writing
about the most current pair of jeans, latest earrings, hair styles and shoes are a
great asset.

Celebrities

Knowing what is happening with the celebrity crowd never fails
to hold their attention. Teens want to know who is getting married and who is
divorced. Who went to jail and who filed bankruptcy. More importantly they would
like to find out what they are wearing and what color hair is trendy. If you
can deliver the goods on celebs then you certainly will find success in the
arena.

Music

All teens from whatever generation you choose has an
interest in cutting-edge music. Even the producers and writers behind it
interest teens.

Writing about the most up to date and newest bands on the
scene will strike a cord with magazine editors and a teen audience. Music is one of the best genres for teenage boys and girls.

Top ten lists

Top ten lists will work in these magazines just like others.
The difference is in writing top ten lists that they find attention-grabbing

Reviews

Movie reviews are the hottest, but television shows,
clothing brands or fashion show reviews are also stimulating to the teen reader. There
is always something new out and what you can provide in the way of a review is
an easier and attractive article to write.

Beauty

Last year nearly 3 out of every 4 teens spent their money on
skin care products, hair care products, clothes and cosmetics. This means their
have and extremely high interest in beauty and the industry as a whole. Freelance
writers with a gift for gab in beauty will definitely have an interested editor
craving their work in no time. Even the DIY makeovers go over great.

Love life

Teenage love is new and exciting. Reading about insightful
tips surrounding this item gets teen readers each and every time.

The teenage love life is fickle and nothing similar to an
adult’s. If you aren’t familiar with what info they are looking for, review a
couple of magazines directed at your audience to make an article work for you.

College

College is of interest to a number of audience members because
they are either in college or soon will be. even those that do not make it to
higher education enjoy reading about it. Reviewing schools, what to expect in college, how
to handle different or difficult situations while in college and applying for student loans go
over well.

In conclusion

Remember who your audience is when freelance writing for
teen magazines. Surprisingly a number of writers that venture into creating
content for teens find they enjoy it more than they imagined.

Know what editors
are searching for when submitting your articles for publication with these
magazines and you will succeed.These are
hot topics to focus on to gain the attention of the right person to make it in
the biz.
